Part 5 (The Nurburgring - 2)

Part 5 (The Nurburgring - 2)

Here is the 2nd Part of the N-Ring Experience :) Here are some of my favorite pictures from the N-Ring. The really cool thing about the Ring is there are so many local photographers that are posted up and everyone uploads their photos to the same website where you can sort by car brand / color / etc... and then purchase.


Anyways, so finally after breakfast at the Devils Diner etc... we are ready to get on track.

We pull onto the track and full throttle onto the straight and start having some "safe" fun. The whole idea with the Ring for me was, “Lets have a blast but also not end up on Youtube”, so we were holding things back but progressively getting faster through the day. I hadn't been on track in a couple years and new car + excitement + notorious racetrack could go either way.

Much respect for anyone who can dip into the 7’s on this track. It truly takes some courage and an understanding of the layout. It truly is humbling seeing locals fly by in a little 20 year old Peugots into a blind corner and then disappear. The Ring was littered with BMW M Cars and Porsche GT Cars, with everything else pretty randomly scattered about. The amateur locals were always very fast, and then the locals in the M Cars were seriously fast, and then what felt like pro drivers in GT Cars would appear and then disappear like nothing. Such an awesome experience having someone with a 2RS fly by on track.

I think we did 10ish Tourist laps over the weekend. It really is an experience unlike US Circuits. Overall the N-Ring was the coolest car experience I’ve done. People treat their cars differently there (in a good way). People seem to purchase their cars to use as intended vs stored away in a climate controlled garage. At one point we witnessed a rental ring car back into a 3RS and the 3RS owner shrugged it off and said “I might have an off next lap and its all a moot point”. During the weekend there we saw a 918 on track, countless 2RS, 3RS, 3, 4, M3, 1M, M2, etc...

This is probably my favorite picture of any car I've ever had. The framing, composition etc... and of course the subject matter.



I really love the colors and the overall aesthetic, this is leading up right before the carousel.



To me this looks like a press shot that Porsche could have advertised, love this and its at one of my favorite sections of the circuit.

A little baby jump, even at this speed its a pretty intense section and you feel like youre flying. The people with all 4 wheels off the ground are hauling seriously fast...



The obligatory Carousel pictures :)





You can really see the elevation changes here...



More elevation changes.



I love the E9X platform, if you couldn't tell...



This is probably my second favorite picture of the day... There was a wreck just before this so we were all bunched up. I want to say this was my last lap of the day, you can see the breadth of cars on track at one time.





We ended up leaving the Ring in the early afternoon to make our way towards Switzerland :)
